I know its a long season, but Mcrae really needs to think about this leaving Ratchford out for Paul IMO is a big mistake.

i'd expect nash and turner to miss out

What does Ratchford have to do for him to get a place he has looked dangerous in the games he has played so far, very bad decision by Mcrae.

: Thu Feb 12, 2009 1:42 pm  

Perhaps Paul is not relacing Ratchford: there's other half-backs in that 18.

Let's hold back on our judgements after we've seen what SL teams will produce against us THIS eason.
